Prosecutors allege Jean and an accomplice violently robbed Peter Knowles of a bag containing $12,000 in cash belonging to Sbarro Pizza on Cable Beach as he was leaving the restaurant at 12.45pm on April 13.

The suspects reportedly fled in a teal Nissan vehicle.

Jean pleaded guilty to violating his bail conditions before Magistrate Abigail Farrington.

Assistant Superintendent of Police Kendrick Bauld, the prosecutor, indicated that Jean had previous convictions.

Jean was sentenced to 18 months in prison on a firearm charge in 2023.

He was sentenced to seven months in prison for the bail violation and informed of his right to appeal within seven days.
